Automatic text summarization is considered as a challenging task in natural language processing field. In the case of multilingual scenario particularly for the low-resource, morphologically complex languages the availability of summarization data set is rare and difficult to construct. In this work, we propose a novel technique to extract Odia text from the image files using optical character recognition (OCR) and summarize the obtained text using extractive summarization techniques. Also, we performed a manual evaluation to measure the quality of summaries to validate our techniques. The proposed approach is found suitable for generating summarized Odia text and the same technique can also extend to other low-resource languages for extractive summarization system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
